The 20-storey luxury residential scheme comprises 191 one- two- and three-bedroom apartments.

Proline has been awarded a £3.7m contract for all mechanical and electrical works on the scheme.

Andrew Mitton, managing director of Proline Group’s Engineering Services business said: “X1 The Gateway scheme is a stunning high rise development that has been designed to maximise views for occupiers with a fully-glazed façade.

“However, because of its urban location, the windows on the front elevation will not be opening, prompting the need for some creative design ingenuity when it came to countering the potential for solar gain from the façade.

“The client gave us carte blanche to come up with a solution and our response was to develop a cooling plenum that can reduce the indoor temperature by as much as 6⁰C, while taking up very little space in each apartment and offering low energy and low cost functionality.”

Proline’s mechanical design and installation remit also includes domestic hot water supplies, booster water supplies, wet risers, VRF heating systems and ventilation systems with heat recovery.

The company’s electrical works will include installation of all sub mains and BNO electrical distribution, small power, data and TV services, lighting, earthing, ancillary power supplies, fire alarm system, CCTV, access control, door entry systems and solar PV.
